Russia: Trading Halted Across All Markets
September 8th, 2015Via: Bloomberg:
Moscow Exchange PJSC, Russia’s main bourse, said stocks and bonds trading will resume at 4:50 p.m. Moscow time after a nearly two-hour outage.
Equities, ruble, bonds and derivatives trading was shut down due to a network equipment failure, the bourse said earlier on its website. Money-market operations have already resumed, while derivative trading will restart at 5 p.m., according to the bourse’s press service. The resumption of currency trading will be announced separately, it said.
The exchange said it is using backup infrastructure to restart trading. The last interruption on the Moscow Exchange was on Aug. 12 when derivatives trading was halted. In March, the exchange stopped currency and precious-metals transactions for more than an hour.
